Liver palms or palmar erythema are well recognized as a clinical feature of hepato-cellular disease (Sherlock, 1968). They have also been recorded in many other conditions, such as pregnancy, chronic febrile states, leukaemia, thyrotoxicosis, and rheumatoid arthritis (Copeman, 1964; Ragan, 1966; Sherlock, 1968). In the last-named disease the prevalence of palmar erythema has not been, to our kn...

the aim of the present study is to investigate and compare the role of journals with different access models (including print, database, print/database subscriptions) as well as unsubscribed models in meeting the information needs of shiraz university researchers. using a bibliometric method, the communication studies the references used in shiraz university scientific papers indexed by thomson...

background: few reports represent palmar cutaneous nerve neuropathy in the wrist due to a ganglion cyst. case presentation: a 25-year-old female was presented with a mass at volar side of the wrist and hypoesthesia at the base of thenar eminence. at ulrasonographic examination, a simple cyst was detected. sensory response of palmar cutaneous branch of median nerve was absent at the affected sid...

We devised a new flap using the palmar cutaneous branch of the superficial radial artery proximally and anastomosed with a cutaneous perforator of the superficial palmar arch distally. We named our flap "the volar glabrous palmar flap." The flap was used both as a free flap and as a reverse-flow island flap. Thirty-six patients with volar hand defects (24 digits, 7 palms, and 5 first web space)...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate records of racehorses with palmar carpal osteochondral fragments and determine whether the fragments were indicators of the severity of pathologic joint changes or prognosis. DESIGN Retrospective case series. ANIMALS 31 racehorses. PROCEDURES Medical records, radiographs, and videos of arthroscopic procedures were reviewed. Information gathered included signalment; l...

topical solutions containing aluminum chloride are known to be the first line of therapy for hyperhidrosis. palmar hyperhidrosis however, is less responsive to aluminum chloride therapy and successful treatment may require 6-8 h application of high concentrations up to 30% that commonly leads to skin irritation. the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 30 min iontophoretic appl...

Objective- To determine if the pain of the third phalanx due to sidebone fracture in horses can be attenuated by analgesia of the distal interphlangeal joint and palmar digital nerve block. Design- Clinical study. Animals- Seven horses with unilateral forelimb lameness associated with hoof pain due to sidebone fracture. Procedures- Seven mix breed show jumping horses were selected from hor...

Palm prints of 55 male and 33 female schizophrenic patients from Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh were examined for a possible association between palmar dermatoglyphic characteristics and the disease. There was a marked difference between patients and normal controls with regard to palmar C line termination, axial triadic, number of ridges at the a-b inter digital area and the frequency of var...

Debate continues about the origin of Dupuytren's disease, which is usually in the palm but is seen elsewhere as ectopic lesions. We describe a young patient with Dupuytren's disease extending proximal to the wrist crease in continuity with the palmar lesion. Our findings support the view that the condition starts within the palmar connective tissue, but there is no palmar aponeurosis in the for...

A complex variation in the pattern of blood supply to the palm of the hand was encountered during a routine dissection of a female adult cadaver. Findings were: (a) there was no communication between the superficial palmar branches of the radial and ulnar arteries (incomplete superficial palmar arch); (b) the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery coursed superficially to the thenar mus...
